Safety When Walking or Hiking

Stay alert. Keep an eye out for bears so you can give them plenty of room. Look for recent bear sign such as tracks, scats, fresh diggings or tree scratches (If you see any of these, be especially cautious).

Safety When Fishing

Stay alert. Keep an eye out for bears so you can give them plenty of room. Look for recent bear sign such as tracks, scats, fresh diggings or partly eaten fish. (If you see any of these, be especially cautious.)
Fish with a friend. Bears are less likely to be aggressive toward groups of people.

Make noise, especially when your visibility is limited. If a bear hears you coming it will probably leave the area

Gut your catch at the shoreline, not at camp. Put the guts in the water. Pop the air bladder so the guts will sink.

Try not to get fish odours on your clothes. Wash your hands, knife and cutting board after cleaning the fish.
